More on #1947League hero Larry Doby, one of only three #baseball players to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Clemente, Robinson)
Doby's was arguably the more challenging path, given his youth and Veeck's "sudden immersion" approach to integrating the AL.

More on #1947League hero Larry Doby, one of only three #baseball players to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Clemente, Robinson)
Veeck had not thought through some basic questions, among them: What's the support network? What position will this guy play?

It was Larry Walker.
No, seriously, Larry Walker.

Excellent article about Artie Wilson, one of the forgotten men -- a retroactive #superstar who belongs in the National #Baseball Hall of Fame.
